    What a fantastic long weekend I had visiting the other Cookin' Mama in Georgia! I had never been to Marietta and was so impressed with the beautiful rolling hills, hardwood trees, ranches with horses and lovely neighborhoods.

    Of course, seeing my daughter, husband, and cute little grandson was the best of the best. And he was a trooper, hiking to the top of Kennesaw Mountain and back!

    We were rewarded with a great view of Atlanta, Stone Mountain, and the surrounding area. While there, I saw the DDP Yoga Performance Center, set to open later this year, dined at Ted's Montana Grill, trying bison for the first time (which was tastier than beef and better for you too), walked and shopped at Marietta Square and just enjoyed hanging out with the family!

    Now, I'm back home and it's time to get cookin'! I didn't have a lot of time to think of what to fix for dinner last night so I picked up a pork loin on the way home. I thought of fixing my Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin Roast or Tex-Mex Pork Tenderloin but was really in the mood for Asian flavoring.

    The combination of soy sauce and the sugar rub takes this Asian Pork Loin to the next level.

    This Grilled Asian Pork Loin is so easy and takes just a few hours to marinate that I decided to go with it. You will be surprised at how the earthy taste of the soy sauce and the sweetness of the sugar rub go so well together. (Doesn't it look like it's going to be delicious?) Add that little bit of smokiness and you won't find this hanging around for long!

    I also added some green beans since they are in season now and they had a great special in the store. I used my roasted green bean recipe but put an Asian flavor spin on them by adding a soy-garlic chili sauce.

    It gave the beans a little kick of spice from the chili sauce and just a hint of sweetness from the honey. It turned out to be the perfect combo to go with the pork. Yum!

        Thanks Anna. I love using pork loin as it is so lean and healthy. It was really delicious and, best of all, tasted just as good for brown bagging it to the office for lunch the next day.
